Moro About the Protective Associa-
ton Circular.

EdUOr Morning NelCS: In circular
issued by MIR. c. b. Townsend, Secretary
and Treasurer OF the Naval Stores Manu-
lecturers Protective Association, under
date OF Jan. I, 1897, and to which you
allude in your issue of tbis morning.
he makes the statement that "the efforts
of our committee before the Railroad Com
mission in Atlanta have been crowned
with success, and a reduction Of twenty
(20) per cent. secured OIL the rate of
IIeiGht on rosin as established by the
comm lssIon.'
Now, this statement is misleading and
not IN accordance with the facts in the
case, as ! stall show you. About three
/ t0urthS of All naval stores received here
il transported over the savannah, Flori-
da and Western railway, hence | will
salec some point on that road to illus
trate. Up 10 very few days ago that
road has been charging freight on rOsin
at an average weight OF 400 pounds per
barrel; now they have made arr9n ge-
Eents with the inspectors to secure a GER
thcate from them OF the actual W. ignt OF
all rOsin received, with the object OF
charging freight on actual weight.
Now, the average producer has not
been slow 10 embrace the opportunity
presented to get a little rosln throug h
Tree Ol lttiEul, ana tne ROAD mas maui a
good deal Of rosin, weighing from 4S0 10
$40 pounds per barrel, on which they
have charged freiRht at 400 pounds.
Now, take some point on the line OF that
rOad--Glenmnre for instance--under the
Old tarilf rosln was freighted at 40 cents
per barrel, or 10 cents per 100 pounds on
400 pounds. Under the reduced tariff the
shipper will have to pay 5 cents per 100
pounds on actual weights, or pay FROM 80
cents TO 81 cents per barrel.
IL is very clear that In this instance
reduction don't reduce.
Now, a lew words about spirits of tur-
pentiue: Heretofore the railroads have
given shippers the privilege of shipping
small lots AT car load rites. For obvious
reasons this has been Withdrawn. and to
secure the Old rate OF freight that article
must be shipped IN car LOAD lots. This
will not affect the larger producers who
manufacture car load or more per week,
but II Will seriously delay the shipments
OF the smaller operators aud thereby
cause them much annoyance and incon-
Veuience.
Under the tariff the rate of freight from
GlenmOre Is ljc. per 100 pounds.
and under the old way OF bling G0c. per
barrel. Now the rail road bills at actual
weight-saY 440 pounds--6r SIC. per bar
ret, when shipped IN carload lots. The
Iatc LOT less lDah cAriOau ls 1Sc. per
100 pounds, or say s. per barrel. OF
course this rate Is pronibtory. NOW can
any one point out the benefit the Naval
stores Manufacturers Protective Asso-
citation have done?
AS the tariff now stands you can ship
twenty-five barrels spirits tarDenttne
from Jesup, Ga, tn Cincinnati, o., chi.
cage, H., or Louisville, KY, NJ much
lower rate OF freight than you can 10

An Old Tars Horrible Yarn.

to the latter's willing ear the following
tale Of the sea 81 was in the good ship
Surprise crossing the western ocean. A
spanking breeze was driving the ship home
at a most lively rate, every thing drawing

looking over the tsrfrail at the rapidly re
oeding object and then observing the good
speed the ship was making, said in pious
voice: Poor fellow! God help bin. Pm

Of this breeze in the interest OF the own

ing ii, and properly accounting Tor all

difficult process, but yot one that takes
time and much labor,
Pretty soon after the surrender OF the
commands of General Lee and Johnston,
orders were issued for the mastering out
OF all whose terms of enlistment expired
before certain date.
In the case Of the writer's regiment, con-
solidated one embracing two original rcg-
mental organizations, about one half had
been mustered into service at an earlier
date than the other.
To meet this difficulty an order came from
General Sheridan-since the latter part OF
April in command of the experimentation
mastering out and discharging those in the
regiment whose term Of service expired ut
tho earlier date and the organization OF the
remnant into q battalion with its original
designation.
This order necessitated In its carrying
out much extra clerical labor among those
whose business il was to do this kind OF
duty, but finally the rolls were all made
out and upon one set were the names OF
the lucky ones who were soon to 20 to
their homes and friends in the North, and
upon the other those of their less fortunate
comrades who were 70 remain in service
yet awhile longer The writer was among
the latter.
Early one morning in July those to be
Immediately mustered out were drawn up
In line for the march 10 Mobile, three miles
distant, where u steamer awaited them at
the wharf.

charged as no longer tt for service and re-
turned to their homes MANNED in body and
broken down with disease.
Not long after reaching Camp Butler n
letter was received from the commandant
ut Vicksburg, stating that the dead body
of a man was rescued from the river
there, upon whose person was found let
tcrs and papers that identified him as the
soldier who disappeared from the vessel
so suddenly one night while coming up
the Mississippi. The letter stated further
that there was bullet hole through the
mans head. Thus the mystery thlckened
rather than otherwise, as there was sup
posed to be no one on the boat who would
commit murder, and, besides, a shot fired
would certainly have attracted attention.
This was the last death in the command

Some days were occupied at Camp But
Ter before the final scene in the last act in
the drama OF war was enacted.
About the middle of September one
afternoon the little battalion was drawn

man stepped as his name was called of,

moved OF With what satisfaction each
man must have looked upon his service!
Since his enlistment what momentous
events had transpired Three years of
weary, tedious, bloody war had dragged
out their sickening length. Midsummer,
1862 midsummer, 1868! What terrific
strife filled the gap.
Midsummer, 1852, found Mcclellan beat
en-, defeated in the Pcninsular campaign
and his army at bay upon the James river
A little later Pope met overwhelming de-
feat in Northern Virginia: then, as little
relief came South Mountain and Antietam.
But in early winter followed the dis
astrous defeat of Fredericksburg that i'll
anguratad the dark and dismal winter of
1S62-3-thc dreariest time of the war for
the Union cause.
But with the spring Of 1863 came a better
outlook, and there followed Vicksburg and
Gettysburg-when the tide turned and re-
manned steadily against the Confederates
till the end two years later-and Chata-
nooga closed most successful year for the
Nation.
The determined advance of the army Of
the Potomac in the early spring of 1864,
through the bloody way OF the wilderness,
Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor and its per-
sistent stay about Petersburg and Rich
mond, showed that the great North had at
! last realized its own tremendous power.
In the latter half of the year, Atlanta and
the March to the Sea- and Sheridan's mar
velous successes in the Shenandoah Valley,
gave evidence that the Contederacy OF the
proud spirited Southerners was already
topping but if any further manifestation
of its speedy downfall was needed this
came with the GROWING victory of the
year at Nashville, under the unequaled
Thomas.
Prompt and energetic action in February,
1865, gave US Charleston, where was fired
the first shot, and in April, Mobile, Peters
burg, Richmond and Appomattox! But
April, 1865, the month that witnessed com
pletc Union success and the ending of the
war, saw also the whole land overwhelmed
with sorrow because the one to whom
above all others was due the most for the
final fortunate consu mmatlon, was slain
by an assassin's bullet.

The change in organization again brought
the writer into the hospital department, and
he cheerfully resumed his duties. But the

rom any Irregularities encountered, hence
there was little sickness.

just before the cessation of hOStllties a
Confederate mail-sack heavily laden with
letters, papers, etc, was captured north
of Mobile. This some time in May was
empticd near where the writer's company
was cncamned.
The contents were a confused mass of
papers, torn envelopes and open letters,
all having been hurriedly examined at
division headquarters.
Very many of the letters We're so poorly
written as to be almost unintelhgiblc;
others showed good pcnmanship and cdu-
cation, refinement and culture in the
writers. All were written upon the thin,
poor, shoddy paper Of Confederate manu-
facture. Several very crude wood cuts
were found that had been forwarded as
valentines TO certain members of the fair
sex by their admirers One of these, now
in the writer's possession, was printed on

each of which brought TO mind past eNpe-
ricnce in camp and field.
Near Memphis, one morning, a man in
one Of the companies was missing, and no
trace of him could be found on the boat
The vessel had not been near shore since
the evening previous, when the missing
mans comrade saw him alive and we'll.
Upon the cabin deck Of the boat were
cots upon which were several sick men u;
ono OF these was delirious with ty-
phoii fever, aud one night when the
nurses back was turned jumped over the
railing and was lost in the dark, seething
waters OF tho Mississippi
One evening just after nightfall the
lights of Cairo camc in sight, and pro-
duced strange thrill in the hearts of the
little band of Ulinoisans aboard, who three
years before had come by that city on their
way 10 the cnemy's country, but with what
fortune they were to return, no one could
say.
Every man was thrilled with delight as
he stepped from the boat at Cairo and onc2
more trod upon the soil of his own beloved
State that had sent to the front so many of
its brave sons and given to the Nation n
Lincoln and Grant Seldom does it fall
to the lot of one Commonwealth 10 contrib
ute so much to the country's veal.
Next day toward evening train Of stock
cars was boarded and the trip to Camp
Butler started upon.
Early next morning from every farm
house and dwelling welcome was extended
by those within waving from door or win
dow some article OF textile character.
A very few had flags, but the majority
had handkerchiefs or towels, and one old
Dutch woman from an upper story win
dow Haunted vigorously what seemed TO
be n red flannel skirt.
Camp Batter was reached IN the after
noon, and as its gates were entered what
memories crowded upon the mindl
Three years before, out Of this inclosurc
marched an organization more than a
thousand strong; to-day it returns Il little
band OF two hundred.
Where are the eight hundred miSSitgf
Some of them have but recently come
from the enemy's prison pens and will yet
reach their friends in safety. Many, very
many, found graves beside the great river
in Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mis-.
sissppi, and others lie not far distant from
